Backpage allowed users to delete ads they posted.
Should Backpage have allowed anyone to take down their competitors ads by sending an email claiming that the competitor is underage?

If you have a photograph of a child being raped, and that child contacts you to ask for that photograph to be taken down, you should probably do a bit more than say "no", you should probably try and see if you are hosting images of child sexual abuse and see if you can take down those images.
Backpage didn't dispute the identity of the children.
Please read the documents.

What a wonderful strawman.

How do you tell that a specific person is in a photo? How do you tell that said person is a child?
>you should probably try and see if you are hosting images of child sexual abuse
How would you propose they do that?

Did you read the chapter following the your quote?
> And in February 2010, a detective emailed Backpage to alert the company that a 17-year-old girl who tried to get Backpage to take down an advertisement of herself had been rebuffed: According to the detective, the girl “tried asking for [the ads] to be removed but was told they couldnt [sic] be until enough people reported her as potentially underage.”
